Took LO to be weighed today - 19 weeks, haven't been since 12 weeks for one reason or another.
He was born on 75th centile, but since 2 weeks has always been between 50th & 75th, in the bottom half.
This weigh-in he's dead on the 50th line. HV was concerned, even after I said how active he is (rolling already so every awake, non - feeding minute he's trying to move around the living room). She wants me to go back in 2 weeks, which I'm happy to do, but I just wanted to check - dropping less than half a centile line isn't that much of an issue is it? I thought it only became an issue when it was a much more consistent slowdown in weight gain. She suggested that as he was 75th at birth it was quite a big issue (despite never then going near 75th line again).
He is combi-fed, & in all other respects (nappies, general health, appearance, behaviour) is completely fine.
Also, if he continues to drop will I be advised to wean early? Had hoped to wait til 6 months.
Thanks
